+ 1 on the Explorer charts. The charts themselves are very accurate. There are 3 books, one for NW Bahamas, one for central, one for SE and out islands, they update one each year so in practice, each area is updated every 3 years. The text with each chart serves as the only guide book you need, with marinas, phone # for customs and immigration, shoreside resources, restaurants and provisioning, etc. If you really want a more detailed guide, that's just a guidebook, consider Doziers; but you'll still need nav charts separately. Garmin has digital versions of the Explorer charts preprogrammed into some of their handheld GPS devices.
